SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:1–20: John the Baptizer prepared the way for Jesus

The last event in Luke 2 describes Jesus’ trip to Jerusalem when he was twelve years old. This section begins about eighteen years later. At the beginning of chapter 3, both Jesus and John the Baptizer were about thirty years old. Both men were ready to begin public ministry.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some other possible headings for this section are:

The Preaching of John (NCV)

John the Baptist and Jesus (REB)

John the Baptizer tells people to prepare themselves for the Messiah

Parts of Luke 3:1–20 are basically the same as verses in Matthew 3:1–12. But Luke 3:1–2, 10–14, and 19–20 are not in Matthew.

Paragraph 3:4–6

About seven hundred years before John the Baptizer was born, the prophet Isaiah wrote about him. He wrote that someone would announce to people that the Lord was coming and that they should get ready for him (Isaiah 40:3–5). John the Baptizer fulfilled this prophecy.

Isaiah wrote that people should prepare the way/road for the Lord. This is a metaphor. When the Jewish people expected a king to come through their village, they prepared the road for him. John was telling the people to prepare themselves to receive the Lord by repenting. The Lord was coming to them as the Messiah (Jesus). (See Christ in the Glossary.)

3:6

And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

all humanity will see God’s salvation: The word salvation is used here in a similar way as in 2:30, where Simeon saw Jesus. Simeon realized that Jesus was “the Lord’s Christ” (2:26), and he said that he had seen God’s salvation. Jesus the Christ was the one whom God appointed to save/rescue people. Someday every person will see God’s salvation because they will see the Savior and know about how he saves people.Luke 3:6 reinforces the theme of this book. God has provided a salvation that is for all people: Jew and Gentile, man and woman, rich and poor, etc. While this prophecy speaks of the coming of Jesus as the Christ (Messiah) to save mankind, it also looks forward to when he returns in glory. At that time, all of humanity (flesh) will literally see God’s salvation in the person of Jesus the Christ (Matthew 16:27, Luke 21:27–28, Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). So, the salvation of God was revealed through Jesus’ coming as Savior for all people, and God’s Salvation will be seen by everyone on the last day, when everyone will kneel and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10–11). Other ways to say this include:

all people will see the salvation sent from God. (NLT)

All people will see the salvation that God gives. (GW)

And all people will see the Savior from God.

all humanity: The Greek word that the translates as humanity is literally “flesh” (as in the RSV). Here it refers to humanity, that is, all people. Some other ways to say this are:

everyone

the whole human race (GNT)

all people (GW)

see: The Greek word that the BSB translates here as see can also be translated as:

view

observe

Choose the verb in your language that is most natural with your translation of “salvation” in this context.

General Comment on 3:6

At the end of 3:6 Luke ended the quote from the book of Isaiah. In 3:7 Luke talked about John’s preaching to people. In some languages it may be necessary to indicate explicitly that the quote from Isaiah ends before 3:7. For example:

“…‘…And all mankind will see God’s salvation.’” This is what Isaiah said.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πᾶσα σὰρξ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὄψεται πάσα σάρξ τό σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Luke is describing people by reference to something associated with them, the flesh they are made of. Alternate translation: [all people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὄψεται

˓will_be˒_seeing

The term see is a figurative way of referring to recognition and understanding. Alternate translation: [will recognize] or [will understand]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὄψεται & τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓will_be˒_seeing & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὄψεται πάσα σάρξ τό σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun salvation with a verb such as “save.” Alternate translation: [will understand how God saves people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὄψεται πάσα σάρξ τό σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ)

After this phrase, Isaiah ends his quotation from the person who is calling out in the wilderness. If you decided in [3:4](../03/04.md) to mark these words as a second-level quotation, indicate the end of that quotation here with whatever convention your language uses.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὄψεται πάσα σάρξ τό σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ)

After this phrase, Luke also ends his quotation from the book of Isaiah. If you decided in [3:4](../03/04.md) to mark this as a first-level quotation, indicate that ending here with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a first-level quotation.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:4-6 The quotation is from Isa 40:3-5 (Greek version); it speaks of God’s delivering the Jews from exile in Babylon. After the Jews had returned from exile (Ezra 1–2), the passage became associated with God’s end-time salvation. John shouted in the wilderness to prepare God’s people for the Lord’s coming. God’s salvation is portrayed as a new exodus, bringing deliverance like the first exodus from Egypt.
• Clear the road for him! . . . the rough places made smooth: The image reflects the Middle Eastern practice of preparing a road at the approach of a king, something like “rolling out the red carpet” (cp. Luke 19:36-38).
